It's Decision Time
Countless high school seniors are eagerly awaiting responses to their college applications.
Everyone wants that “big envelope” — or whatever the digital version of that is now — but that’s not the only thing bringing on the anxiety. Students are also thinking about how much this education is going to cost them.
About 85% of respondents to an annual survey conducted by The Princeton Review estimated college would cost them $50,000 or more, and of that group, 43% expected it to cost more than $100,000. (If you have student loans, or are going to need them, it’s important you think about how they’re going to impact your credit. You can keep an eye on it by reviewing a free snapshot of your credit report on Credit.com.)
That’s no subtle amount of money — an amount most people probably don’t just have lying around — so it makes sense that the level of debt parents and/or their child will take on to pay for the degree was the biggest worry for both parents and students for the past five years of the survey.
Still, 99% of respondents said they feel the investment will be worth it.

Dreamin' Big
These findings are based on responses from 10,519 people (8,499 students applying to college and 2,020 parents of college applicants) in the U.S. as well as people from more than 20 other countries. The survey was conducted from Aug. 2016 through early March 2017 and appeared in the Best 381 Colleges: 2017 Edition and on The Princeton Review’s website.
As part of the survey, students were asked what their dream college would be while parents were asked what college they’d like to see their child attend if chance of acceptance and cost weren’t an issue.
Respondents named more than 510 colleges, universities and other post-secondary institutions — and, after tallying them all up, The Princeton Review came up with the top 10 for each category. Click through to find out what the results were.
